Wide area network configuration using LoRa and BLE.
BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) is excellent for low power consumption and short-range communication, and it has become widely used for tracking the location of patients and medical devices and for data collection within medical facilities. However, BLE has a short communication range of about 10 meters, which poses limitations for extensive communication and data transmission across multiple floors within buildings. To overcome this limitation, we aim to build a broader communication network by combining it with LoRa (Long Range) communication.

basic information
By leveraging the advantages of BLE's short-range and high-precision capabilities while combining them with the long-range and wide-area characteristics of LoRa communication, it becomes possible to establish an effective communication network for environmental monitoring and information sharing throughout the hospital. This is expected to enhance the efficiency of patient management, medical device management, and environmental monitoring within the hospital. As a result, we will achieve the construction of next-generation infrastructure that expands communication range while keeping costs down, providing a safe and comfortable hospital environment.

Applications/Examples of results
【Application Examples】 - Position detection and operational status monitoring of medical devices By placing hybrid routers along various routes within the hospital, it becomes possible to aggregate information over a wide area by combining BLE communication and LoRa communication for medical devices. Management of operational hours is also possible through the entry and exit history from the warehouse (ME room). ➡ No need for barcode management. There will be no more searching for misplaced medical devices. - Aggregation of measurement data to nurse stations, etc. Using thermometers, blood pressure monitors, and pulse oximeters equipped with BLE. Measurement data can be aggregated to nurse stations, etc., via LoRa communication. ➡ Reduces staff workload and improves operational efficiency. - Environmental monitoring Easily manage environmental data such as temperature and CO2 levels in each patient room remotely. ➡ Data from each patient room can be monitored. An optimal environment can be secured, and quick alerts can be issued in case of environmental data anomalies. - Patient location tracking and departure detection By placing hybrid routers in front of each exit, alerts can be triggered if a patient accidentally leaves the ward, helping to prevent unauthorized departures. ➡ This serves as a proactive measure against patients going missing and helps prevent unauthorized departures.
